Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Norfolk County Council involved the award of contracts under their Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Passenger Transport Services, covering the period from April 2026 to June 2026. This process, classified under the industry category of road transport services (CPV 60100000), reached the award stage and is now complete. Norfolk County Council, a regional authority located in Norwich, initiated the tender using a selective procurement method, specifically a restricted procedure. The contracts were awarded on 30th June 2026, totalling a value of £16,819,824.53. The delivery addresses span multiple regions across the UK, including UKC, UKD, UKE, and others, ensuring broad geographical service coverage.

This procurement process offers significant opportunities for businesses in the transport services sector, particularly those capable of delivering comprehensive road transport solutions. The contracts are ideal for large suppliers who can efficiently manage cross-regional deliveries within the UK. With a focus on price as the sole award criterion, competitive pricing strategies could benefit businesses seeking to expand their footprint in public sector transport services. Such opportunities are particularly suited for companies with the capacity to handle large-scale, regional projects while maintaining high standards of service delivery.
